Santa Fe College’s instrumental and vocal programs will take the stage for a guitar and contemporary pop ensemble recital on Wednesday, Nov. 13.

The event is slated for 7:30 p.m. at the Jackson N. Sasser Fine Arts Hall, located on the Northwest Campus at 3000 NW 83 St. in Gainesville.

“The SF guitar ensemble is comprised of students with a wide range of skill levels,” said Edward White, SF assistant professor of music, in a press release. “Some have just started playing guitar and have never performed in front of a live audience, and some have been playing for a few years and are pursuing music as a career.”
